Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Community note
The first quote is not by Voltaire. It was created by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in 1906 to summarize his philosophy. The second quote is a variation of Voltaire's 1765 words which referred to committing injustices rather than atrocities.

I was right!! Way to go #Gamecocks !!!
I’ll be honest, I don’t think we’ve played well and are only down by 2. Clean up the turnovers in the second half and we got this. #Gamecocks #Aprilmadness #Finalfour

Also resisting arrest can’t be the charge. If you haven’t been charged with anything to be arrested for you can’t resist arrest.
I don’t think you can say he was “resisting arrest” bc there is no effort to actually arrest him or say “you are under arrest.” The agent shoved a woman to the ground, he helped her out and was sprayed, thrown to the ground and beaten. The natural human response is to try to cover your face and protect your body as you’re being assaulted. Interpreting that body movement as “resisting arrest” is too much of a leap.
The agents escalated the situation repeatedly and then used their own escalation as reason to kill him.

He clearly was not intending to massacre ICE and he clearly was resisting arrest

An illegal immigrant doesn't deserve to die by the hands of the government either. Just so we are clear.

He was brandishing the weapon ICE fears most.
A cell phone.

Statement from the Prime Minister of Greenland’s Office: "The United States has once again reiterated its desire to take over Greenland. This is something the government coalition in Greenland cannot accept under any circumstances. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. As a part of the Realm, Greenland is a member of NATO, and the defense of Greenland must therefore be insured through NATO."
